Ever want to be a forensic investigator?   Of course you did!   What self respecting human wouldn’t? Now you’ll get your chance on the Nintendo DS this holiday as SouthPeak Games release Crime Scene, a game where you’re a detective, you solve the crime, and most likely will be harassed about how civilians “pay your salary”.

Much more than a simple seek and find game, Crime Scene looks like it’s bringing all sorts of tools and puzzles to the table:

MIDLOTHIAN, VA – August 27, 2009 – Leading videogame publisher, SouthPeak Games, announced today a new Nintendo DS™ title, Crime Scene™, scheduled for release this holiday season. Crime Scene puts players in the role of a detective, giving them a full arsenal of police tools to solve crimes and ensure justice is served.

“People love a good ‘whodunit’, so we’re about to give them a bunch of head-scratching crimes to solve,” said Richard Iggo, VP of Marketing at SouthPeak. “Whether you are a fan of police dramas on TV, classic detective fiction, or just tricky puzzles, Crime Scene allows players to take part in their own tense, high stakes investigation and get involved in forensic work.”

Crime Scene turns Nintendo DS into a weapon of justice. Players are tasked with combing through crime scenes and untangling suspense-filled scenarios by using the stylus, breath and voice features, and their own eye for detail to condemn wrongdoers. All the police tools are at the players’ disposal as they study bodies, take blood samples, collect fingerprints, use voice recognition software, identify murder weapons, conduct DNA analyses and more.

Crime Scene is scheduled for release in Holiday 2009. For more information, visit www.southpeakgames.com.

I’m thinking of combining Ace Attorney and this to create my very on episode of Law and Order.
All I need now someone to go “DUH DUH” after every scene.

UPDATE 10-23-2009:

We just received word that Crime Scene now has a playable flash game (in English) that gives you a good idea of what to expect when the full release hits the shelves February 2010.
